MY TURN AT BAT The Story of My Life

Incredibly, Ted Williams hit a home run his last time at bat. The Red Sox fans were screaming, but by the time the Hall of Fame hitter had reached second base, he'd decided not to tip his hat to the crowd."It just wouldn't have been me." Ted didn't write the book alone, and it's read by an actor, but the voice and prose are are immediately convincing. Ted used to cuss out the sportswriters. He put his fist through a water cooler. He thought it was wrong. He also thinks he'd do it again. This is the man who never learned to take it easy, wear a necktie, or tell a lie.
